Ginnymarie - another update with questions

[Ginnymarie]

*******Thanks for you lovely responses everyone. I am feeling a bit better, had some good sleeps and that always helps.

I am now having painful braxtons but again they don't get regular, however, today I had the urge to cook and I just never cook, OH does it all. I have made a huge 4 breast chicken casserole with loads of veg then after I did that I baked a huge tray of flapjack.

The pelvic pressure is immense but the tightenings are very low, all around my groin, going into my hips and bum, they don't feel like period cramps yet but do feel like when I have had a tummy upset and you need to poo but nothing comes out.....I always imagined a contraction to be high up in my tummy not under my bump, it feels like a belt tightening under my bump. They do get worse with walking but lying down hurts my back so i can't rest grrr.

Again, will keep you posted

Hi guys

Felt a bit better this morning so have checked the forum.

Had a good sleep, no signs really except loads and loads and loads
of braxton hicks....like all the time really(bump is like a rock), no pattern, not painful.

No show, waters, backache....might be induction after all but it is
a full moon on Monday and I always get my period on full moons ?

Off to get my hair cut today and then a massage, OH is being moody and withdrawn says he is sick of waiting, he is !!! grrrr...

Oh and my tens machine arrived today, I hired one tens.co.uk and it arrived the day after and I didn't have to pay next day extra charge....yay

will keep you posted on any progress

Good Luck Ginny. I really hope you go into labour soon. I was thinking about this last night, and I think it is relaxation that sends people into labour. Like how Jade went into labour when it was the last thing on her mind.

So, when you have your massage today, clear your mind....and breathe deeply....Imagine your cervix opening like a flower....Breathe deep into your groin...


And then call the mental hospital to come and get me.

On a serious note, I think relaxation could be the key.

Like fuffins said, relaxation could be the key. Enjoy your massage, you lucky thing!!

I will try to relax, induction is not the worse thing in the world at end of day and at least I will meet my baby sometime next week.

happychick, will try and catch up on msm tonight or over the weekend

The first time i was admitted to hospital, there was a woman who came into the same room I was in. She was in to be induced. When they checked her she had already started dialating. She just hadn't known. So, they left her to see if nature took its course

Like you said Ginny, induction is not the worse thing in the world. It means that at least you kind of know when you will have bubs and you know your labour will be monitored closely (though I know some people hate the thought of this....I do not mind too much)

Your tightenings sound exactly like mine at the moment, feeling that urge to poo but not needing to poo!! As for contractions, ALL my contractions with my other 2 were low down just under my belly almost on my pubic bone, similar feeling to when you are bunged up and not been to loo for few days, just 1000x worse!!! (Lowering the tone again, I'm obsessed with number 2s at mo!)

I'd say keep walking about, sounds like your time could be soon!!!!
